The demonstration
display of a dielectric liquid cooling system using the new BEHLKE
PU-2 pump unit. Various malfunctions can be simulated to
demonstrate the safety features of the intelligent PU-2 pump.
Top left in the cooling box is a callable cell phone (i-phone 5)
immersed in the liquid, to show the dielectrical properties of
the FPFE coolant. In the lower
cooling box are two resistors of 47 Ohm each, which are connected
in series to the mains voltage (240 VAC). The resulting power
dissipation is 560 Watt, which can be removed either by the active
radiator (AR-800W) or the heat exchanger (HE-10). At
the right side of the resistor box is a high-voltage
high-frequency switching unit (FSWP 51-01) with a transparent
viewing window. The unit can generate square wave pulses
from 0 to 5 kV at a repetition rateof up to 3 MHz. The rise
and fall time is less than 6 ns. Thanks to the DLC cooling, the max. power dissipation
in this small plastic housing can be up to
1500 Watt.

The display case for the
dielectric liquid cooling equipment. In the front is a 19" rack
housing with an integrated PU-2 pump unit.

voltage demonstration set-up for the new compact switches.

MOSFET switches

The high voltage demonstration set-up in operation with 20 kV
input voltage. All switch control inputs are unshielded and
connected in parallel. All switches are in a high side
configuration with a 5 Kiloohm load at the output (except the
push-pull switch). On the scope display: Yellow = common TTL
control signal, blue = 6 kV push-pull switch, violet = 12 kV
variable on-time switch, green = 24 kV fixed on-time switch. All
three switches are operated at the same time at about 90% of their
maximum operating voltage. The high voltage pulse rise times of
the three switches are between 5 to 8 ns. Nice to see that the
three switches do not interference each other, even with
unshielded input wiring. The newly developed VC4 control
circuit guarantees a perfect EMC even under the absolute worst
conditions!
